This interpretation of picking one result doesn't fit into my workflow:
I use RET to iterate over multiple matches, then need to close the
*xref* window after visiting the last match, so TAB makes no sense
in this case. I'd expect TAB rather to iterate over multiple matches,
i.e. like TAB in browsers go to the next match. Even in the *Completions*
buffer TAB moves to the next completion. And in icomplete-mode
the closest analogy to picking one result is 'C-j'
(icomplete-force-complete-and-exit).
